Huayra is an even worse name than the "The Ferrari"

Huay would you buy a Huayra?

BS I know, but the Huayra is my favorite supercar, I wish I could afford one and that they weren't sold out, so I could get one.

Saw some pictures of a bronze one from the UAE over the weekend, so beautiful.

One sec guys, just got a call from my service adviser at McLaren. Had to get my ceramic brakes replaced and my P1 is ready for pick up now.

They're sending an SL65 AMG to drive me there.

Has anyone on the site ever owned or currently own a 4runner? thoughts?

 

[LeatherBoot]

I have driven plenty of them over the years and considered one as an extra car recently.

It's one of the last old school SUVs on the market which in practice is mostly a bad thing...bad fuel economy, stiff ride, tippy in the corners. The pros? it's still a box so you can fit quite a lot in it (unlike a Porsche Cayenne for instance), it comes with a proper four wheel drive system and locking differential if you like going off road...and the classic electric rear window.

I like old SUVs and the body on frame construction and old suspension make the 4Runner charming to drive.

I'm a construction PM driving on unfinished sites year round. I need a legit truck but don't want a pickup. I have a company gas card so mileage isn't a huge consideration. Found a used in the limited trim for a decent number. Need to just have a second set of eyes on it and pull the trigger, I think.

Like the aggressive looks of the current one. As far as SUVs with "real truck" underpinnings, there's also Nissan. They offer one on either side, in terms of size, of the Toyota in the form of the Xterra and Armada. The Xterra is one of the last also available with a manual transmission, though that doesn't sound like it really plays in to your decision.

I also believe the Pathfinder, prior to 2013, was body-on-frame based on the underpinnings of their Frontier truck.

If you are looking used a NIssan could be a better deal. Toyota's trucks are highly prized so the resale values are high. I am a big fan of TLCs and it is amazing what old ones with hundreds of thousands of miles still go for.
